Introduction
Arrcoat Polished Plaster is a natural mineral material composed of
hydrated lime, crushed marble and cement combined with special
additives to control working characteristics. Although essentially the
same composition the four base powders PP100, PP200, PP300 are
made up from different proportions of white, yellow, red and green
crushed marble powders. This means a range o’ natural stone colored
finishes can be achieved without the addition of any pigment.

3 Health and Safety

Arrcoat Polished Plaster is a powdered product. A dust mask should
always be worn when mixing or handling the product. The product
contains hydrated lime and cement that will act as an irritant. Wear
protective clothing, gloves and eye protection. It contact occurs wash
affected areas immediately with soap and water.
4 Suitable Substrates
Arrcoat Polished Plaster can be applied to Arrcoat recommended
substrates which should be firm and true and will not crack. In our
experience the best substrates to work onto are taped and jointed
plasterboard and freshly plastered walls that are fully dry.
● Never attempt to apply Arrcoat Polished Plaster over wallpaper or
lining paper. Great care should be taken on surfaces that are already
decorated.
● Arrcoat Polished Plaster can be applied to existing painted surfaces
provided the paint is well adhered to the wall.
● A flat or true substrate is vital to achieve high quality results as any
bumps or imperfections may show up in the finished surface.
● Whilst Arrcoat Polished Plaster will bond adequately to MDF great
care should be taken when using it as a substrate as it will tend to
creck along any joints. MDF may also swell and warp. AQ set of
substrate specification sheets is available from Arrcoat Surface
Finishes.

5 Mixing Instructions
Always wear a dust mask or respirator when mixing Arrcoat Polished
Plaster. Arrcoat Polished Plaster is packed in 18kg sacks as a dry
premix. Pigments are packed into small plastic screw top bottles and
are combined with the plaster at the point of mixing.
● Pour the content of the pigment. Pot into the 30 liter drum. Fill the
pigment container with water and flush out any left over pigment.
● The total water requirement for an 18kg drum is 7.2 liters – 7.5 liters
of water.
● Mix the pigment and water gently with the mixing paddle before
adding the 18kg unit of plster
● Pour the plaster gently into the water/pigment mix gently mixing at
first allowing the air to bubble out. If the finish is textured add the 6kg
of marble chips. Then increase the mixing speed of the drill and mix to
a thich creamy lump free consistency.
● Leave the material to stand for 5-10 minutes and then mix once
again before applying to the wall
High pigment loading and excessive mixing can lead entrapment of
micro fine air bubbles in the material which will reduce its density and
hardness and in extreme cases lead to blistering and delamination of
the product.
When large quantities of pigment are being mixed with the material it
is advisable to mix the plaster with plain water to a thick consistency
before adding the pigment. This will significantly reduce the level of air
entrapment see Advice Sheet AS4.

6 Application Instructions
● Mix and apply Arrcoat base coat over a layer of any normal primer
● Scrape over the dry basecoat to remove any small lumps or trowel
lines paling special attention at the corners or the interface with other
surfaces
● Apply the plaster in a small area at a time (~ 1 m2) working the
material into the basecoat. Trowel in all directions leave the first layer
until it is no longer tacky and the surface feels firm to the touch. This
may take from 30-90 minutes depending upon site temperature and
humidity
● Take a small quantity of material onto the trowel and work into the
first layer. Repeat this process progressively over the wall occasionally
dropping back onto the areas already applied to trowel down smooth
● Once the second coat has been applied clean off the trowel and work
over the surface with the trowel and work over the surface with the
trowel at about 45 o to remove any excess fatty material and fill any
imperfections in the surface trowel over the wall every 15-20 minutes
until the surface is smooth and polished leave the surface to dry for 2-3
days apply wax as required
